The correct answer is:

ATP is created as oxygen is consumed, and water is produced along the way

Step-by-step explanation:

Most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria, which generate ATP from products of the citric acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and amino acid oxidation. At the mitochondrial internal membrane, electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass within the electron transport chain to oxygen, which is degraded to water.
